Portland weather today is mostly sunny with a high near 64°F—a pleasant spring day perfect for getting outside after a chilly weekend.
Expect mostly clear skies overnight through early morning, with temperatures hovering around 44-46°F. Light south winds (around 2 mph) will keep things calm. By midday, that marine stratus pushing in from the coast will gradually clear out, especially along the I-5 corridor from downtown to the Willamette Valley. The National Weather Service notes that afternoon heating should burn off any remaining clouds, giving us decent sunshine by late afternoon.
This is prime time to hit the trails—Forest Park, Powell Butte, or even a stroll through the Pearl District will be pleasant.

Winds will be light everywhere except the Columbia River Gorge and Upper Hood River Valley, where gusts could peak around 25-35 mph this afternoon—so if you’re heading that direction, expect some chop but nothing dangerous for experienced hikers.
Allergy alert: Spring pollen is ramping up. If you’re sensitive, consider grabbing an allergy relief nasal spray or a pollen count face mask before heading outdoors. A HEPA air purifier or Levoit air purifier large room can also help keep your home comfortable when you come back inside.
